As a certified, licensed, and practicing contrarian I am now obligated to change my opinion. Fortunately, my international mandate as a professional procrastinator means I have to put off the actual change process indefinitely. Please do not agree with me in the future. The growing pile of mental work that I never intend to do is getting depressingly large. In case you can't tell, it is getting late here and my sense of humor is taking a turn towards the bizarre.

Lucky you!

My sense of humor is bizarre even when I'm wide-awake.

TPoet, re: Burdizzo's. My brother and sister in law had been trying to get pregnant for six yrs. when we went to a friends ranch for the round up, branding, dehorning and neutering. At the ranch they just cut a slit in the sac and popped them out. Then they were fried in batter. My brother enjoyed them very much! We called the prairie oysters even though that is a name for something else. Anyway, nine months later my sister in law gave birth to a healthy, happy baby boy! smiles all around!
J A. - more magic in Austria! It never fails to surprise me! Thanks for sharing!

Peace begins with a smile.

I see you changed your avatar.
Beautiful colours! I can't see what it is; too bad! :-(

I will show you! It is my new home screen to satisfy Tpoet's contrariness! .

TPoet, I changed it again just so you wouldn't have to debate with yourself! . .

He was debating with me.
In future, I'll have to have a different opinion than his. Or he will have a different than mine? ;-)

Lovely avatar, btw.

A few pictures I took this afternoon.

They call it Rocky Mountain Oysters in these parts. I've never been tempted.

Hi TP! Over the years, Susan & I have eaten just about everything (but NO 'live' bugs for me!), and on a vacation to Colorado, while in Denver one night, we ate at a famous old 'western style' restaurant called The Buckhorn Exchange (dinner menu HERE) - believe that Susan had buffalo and I had elk.

However, we debated on a couple of appetizers (pic below of part of that menu - check blue arrow added) - I tried to talk her into sharing a half order of Rocky Mtn Oysters - believed that they were thinly sliced and fried - she balked and I think that we shared the alligator tail - I guess, a missed opportunity - Dave

P.S. that's also the trip where we bought our Owl Kachina (which I may have shown in this thread?).

ADDENDUM: Just was curious - added below right, a pic of deep fried thin-sliced Rocky Mtn Oysters w/ a hot looking dipping sauce - sorry I did not give them a try!

Susan & I are Netflix 'streaming' subscribers which I've not been using, so this morning I went through a bunch of pages of their TV offerings - NOW watching:

Titanoboa - Monster Snake!

​This snake emerged after the disappearance of the dinosaurs (i.e. 65 million years ago) - below a quote from HERE about the snake - BOY, could have easily eaten a whole human family! Just a few pics from the web - if you're into snakes, then certainly a recommendation! Dave

In the pantheon of predators, it's one of the greatest discoveries since the T-Rex: a snake 48 feet long, weighing in at 2,500 pounds. Uncovered from a treasure trove of fossils in a Colombian coal mine, this serpent is revealing a lost world of giant creatures. Travel back to the period following the extinction of dinosaurs and encounter this monster predator.

I should say that I'm not completely adverse to eating them. If someone handed me a plate and told me what they were, I'd probably at least give it a try. But I'd never look for them, or even order them off a menu if I noticed. While I don't think they would taste bad, nothing suggests they would be any more tasty than foods I'm perfectly familiar with.

I'll take the T-Bone, medium rare, please.

Well, like I said, wife probably had a bison filet mignon & me an elk filet or tenderloin, both medium rare (we have to see some blood! ) - in all of our travels since that trip to Colorado, I don't believe that we've seen Rocky Mtn Oysters on any menu, so may be an 'out west' thing?

Tonight some Japanese for us - had sashimi (tuna, hibachi, & octopus) & a few rolls (spider & king crab); so I'd probably still give the BBs a try, especially in the presentation shown (maybe at least once?) - Dave

I love being deep in the woods, it is quiet and peaceful. I took this this afternoon.
